The Diaries of the Revolutionary War in the Congo.
The lost link in the life and work of one of the twentieth century's greatest revolutionaries.
In 1965 Ernesto Guevara, one of the heroes of the Cuban Revolution, known throughout the world as "el Che", vanished. He eventually surfaced in the newly independent Congo where, with a hundred Cuban guerrilla fighters to assist him, he put to the test his theories about how to help the peoples of Africa throw off the yoke of colonial imperialism. The diaries "Che" kept during his time record the bitter failure of an ideological dream: the fist steps in the catastrophic, if heroic, adventure that was to lead ultimately to his death in the Bolivian jungle.
